Construction workers in Chillicothe, Ohio, found that out when they discovered a dead woman hanging from a fence. Those living in the neighborhood saw the body also, but didn’t call police because they thought it was a Halloween prank.

“This can’t be happening here, it’s not real and I just didn’t see what I thought I saw,” said resident Tammy Dixon.

Rebecca Cade, 31, of Chillicothe was killed after she attempted to escape her attacker by climbing over a fence and became trapped when her clothes got caught, according to police. She died of blunt force trauma, according to a coroner’s report. Officials arrested Donnie Cochenour Jr. after receiving a tip. He is charged him with murder and has a $2 million bond. Police said the two knew each other, but do not have a motive for the killing.

Law enforcement also now say this case is an isolated one and not related to the deaths of four other Ross County women and the disappearances of two others in the past 18 months. Police say there’s no evidence to connect this case with the other cases.

The body of Tameka Lynch, 30, was found in May 2014 in Paint Creek, about a half-hour out from Chillicothe. She was reported missing four days earlier by her husband. Her death was of “undetermined circumstances.”

Police began searching the same area for Charlotte Trego, 29, after her mother reported her missing two days after Lynch’s disappearance. Wanda Lemons, 38, was reported missing in December by her mother. Neither have been found.

It was about the same time period when Shasta Himelrick, 20, also went missing. The last time her family saw her was Christmas night, reports said. Himelrick’s body was found Jan. 2 in the river. Her death was officially ruled a suicide, but family members aren’t believing that conclusion. They said she was happy about being pregnant.

Two other deaths have been ruled as homicides. The bodies of Timberly Claytor, 38, and Tiffany Sayre, 26, were found three weeks apart, leading some to believe that investigators were dealing with a serial killer.

“There are certainly people talking in the community and people that are upset and understandably concerned about that,” said Ross County Prosecutor Matt Schmidt. “We have to keep an open mind to the possibilities, but the evidence is going to dictate where we go with the investigation.”
